Dumbed-Down How-To For Removing Stern Warnings/Trailers?

[PeteCress]

I'm dabbling in DvdReMake Pro3 - using "Get Low" as my test case.

So far, I see that the "SONY PICTURES CLASSICS" lead-in seems tb part and parcel of the Main Movie and I'm guessing I need an editor that's capable of saving a .VOB (Which my copy of VideoRedoSuite cannot do).

If that's the case, what about:


The FBI Anti-Piracy (blue background) Warning

The International Warnings (red background)

Various disclaimers (black background)


As above, I found ""SONY PICTURES CLASSICS" grafted on to the first .VOB of the Main Movie... but I can't find either of the two warnings or the disclaimer anywhere. All 3 play when I click the "Play Movie" button... but I can't find them.

I do see that the "Play Movie" has a command [R5]=1, Link TailPGC behind it - and that DvdRemake Pro's explaination is "Skip to the end of the current PGC and execute the post-commands".

Lots of post-commands there.....

Seems tb a lot of if R([n])==nnn Link PGC nn.

What is "R"? Some sort of array where the numbers in brackets are elements?

What about the values on the right of == ? Since the FBI warning is country-specific, I'm guessing that one of them somehow indicates that the DVD is being played in - or is intended tb played in - the USA...

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

I never used DVDRemake but you also use PGCEdit for that. Use the trace mode and you will find the annoying titles. There's also an option to blank those.

I dl'd PGCEdit, fired it up on a sample DVD ("Get Low"), stumbled through Trace mode, deleted what I wanted to delete, did a "Save" and, Believe-It-Or-Not, wound up with a playable disc with menu structure fully (as far as I can see) operational - but no stern warnings or advertisements.

And if the likes of me can do it on the first try, that *really* says something about the usability of the product.

They've got my fifteen bucks - no prob....

Thanks.

Glad to hear you found it useful. Take some time to read the manual: PGCEdit is really a swiss army knife :)
